حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مَنِيعٍ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ زَكَرِيَّا بْنِ أَبِي زَائِدَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا الأَعْمَشُ، عَنْ عُمَارَةَ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ، عَنْ عَمَّتِهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " إِنَّ أَطْيَبَ مَا أَكَلْتُمْ مِنْ كَسْبِكُمْ وَإِنَّ أَوْلاَدَكُمْ مِنْ كَسْبِكُمْ " . قَالَ وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ جَابِرٍ وَعَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ . وَقَدْ رَوَى بَعْضُهُمْ هَذَا عَنْ عُمَارَةَ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ أُمِّهِ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ . وَأَكْثَرُهُمْ قَالُوا عَنْ عَمَّتِهِ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ . وَالْعَمَلُ عَلَى هَذَا عِنْدَ بَعْضِ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَغَيْرِهِمْ قَالُوا إِنَّ يَدَ الْوَالِدِ مَبْسُوطَةٌ فِي مَالِ وَلَدِهِ يَأْخُذُ مَا شَاءَ . وَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ لاَ يَأْخُذُ مِنْ مَالِهِ إِلاَّ عِنْدَ الْحَاجَةِ إِلَيْهِ .

ʿĀʾishah reported that the Messenger of Allah said: “The best thing you eat is what you earn, and your children are part of what you earn.” Reports on this subject are also narrated from Jābir and ʿAbd Allāh ibn ʿAmr. Abū ʿĪsā said: This is a ḥasan hadith. Some narrators transmitted it from ʿUmārah ibn ʿUmayr, from his mother, from ʿĀʾishah; most narrated it from his paternal aunt, from ʿĀʾishah. Some scholars among the Prophet’s Companions and others held that a father may freely use his child’s wealth and take what he wishes. Others said he may take from it only when he needs it.
